EPDM Rubber Roofing in Nine Elms
Nine Elms has changed beyond recognition with new apartment towers, the US Embassy and the Battersea Power Station development, while older terraces and commercial units still sit nearby. Flat roofs, roof terraces and commercial roofing make up much of the work here.
EPDM, short for ethylene propylene diene monomer, is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane that has been used on low-slope roofs around the world for more than 40 years. Its long average service life is one of the main reasons it is so widely specified.
The membrane resists ozone, weathering, abrasion, extreme temperatures and wind damage, and installation is quick, so buildings can stay in use with little disruption. It is also made using recycled material, which is better for the environment.
We mainly install EPDM on commercial buildings and larger flat roofs, and we will always recommend the right system for your roof. For a free quote in Nine Elms, call 07467 757 367.
Local EPDM Rubber Roofs Specialists in Nine Elms
Commercial roofing makes up a large share of the work in Nine Elms, and EPDM is our usual choice for larger flat roofs on commercial units and blocks. This synthetic rubber membrane has been used in the industry for over 40 years. It resists ozone, weathering, wind and extreme temperatures, which suits exposed roofs on taller buildings.
It is also quick to install, keeping disruption to tenants and businesses to a minimum, and large sheets mean very few joints across the roof. We assess the deck, outlets and upstands before fitting, as the membrane is only as good as what it sits on. For smaller domestic flat roofs we may recommend GRP instead. We fit EPDM on commercial roofs in Vauxhall and Brixton too.
Nine Elms is roughly 17 miles from our head office in Staines, well within the area our roofers cover every week. Most like-for-like roof work does not need planning permission, but if your property is listed or in a conservation area it is worth checking with Wandsworth Council or Lambeth Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.
